Always count on ‘roons

It’s been what seems like forever since I made a batch, but I’ve been meaning to make some for Cristy and two bloggyfriends.. and today was the day.

Sorry Bella, no roons for your little polar bear face.

How’s your day been going? Mine has been pretty bueno. The girls and I did our Insanity sesh (recovery day) and I made another batch of protein pancakes.

These ones were vegan…and heart-shaped 🙂

(It was GLORIOUS but the recipe still needs a couple of tweaks. Soon, I promise!)

I went to Kohl’s to get Insanity shoes –I had a $10 off coupon and grabbed some Asics- and then parked my booty at Bizzle to get my productivity on. I was there for 3 hours, drank a lot of tea, and got a lot of work done.

After Bizzle, I hit up Publix for some necessities and grabbed an organic apple to munch on the way home:

(Random: when I eat fruit on the go, I open my car door and pour water from my water bottle over said fruit and rub it with my shirt. Almost as good as washing it, right??)

Lunch was fast and easy… and ridiculous.

I just sautéed 1/2 onion and a honker of a carrot for about 5 minutes

Added leftover veggies from last night’s pizza biscuit, more spinach, 1 C veggie broth and brought it up to a boil. Next, I added 1/2 C quinoa and simmered for 15 minutes while I did the dishes (haaaaate dishes) and took the puppers out.

The plan for the rest of the day is some easy yoga courtesy of yogadownload.com and dinner + vino with the girls.

Have a great night <3

Something to talk about: What are some of your favorite *newer* blogs to read?? I read all of my favorites on a daily basis, but know there are a TON of new, fun, blogs out there that I don’t know about. I always love some new reading material 🙂 Go ahead and give someone else (or yourself!) a shout out 😀

My fave blogs also appear to be those of some of your regular readers. Apart from your blog (which is obviously fab!) by other regular reads are Julie’s (Peanut Butter Fingers), Naomi (One Fit Foodie), Jess (How Sweet) and Lauren (Biochemista). All of them are great! Oh, and I suppose I kinda like mine too… 😉

Your macaroons are delicious and the main reason I wanted to get a dehydrator. I haven’t made any in a while – I should probably get on that.

PS I saw your tweet about TJ’s almond butter and wasabi peas and thought of the exchange I did with you a while back. I’m pretty sure I sent you both of those things. 🙂 I’d definitely be up for doing another exchange.

I love it when you make the ‘roons! And it always reminds me that I’ve been meaning to get a dehydrator in, like, forever.

And although it won’t be up for another week, I am actually starting a blog! *gulp* I have the domain but there’s nothing on it yet but I would LOVE if you were to check it out next week when it’s up and let me know what you think! It’ll be at http://www.lifestastyadventures.com. I’ll be sharing good food, good workouts, good laughs and some goal achievement tips and tricks! Nervous to do it but excited at the same time!

I’m definitely going to be checking out everyone’s responses to this, though! Thanks for asking for everyone to share their sites!

Hi Gina,
I’ve seen you write exercise plans for pregnant women on your blog before and talk a lot about prenatal health. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant with my second. I have been so sick that all I want to eat is grilled cheese and seltzer…and now I feel better. I normally eat healthy with a splurge here and there and I did well with my first pregancy gaining 30lbs. I just wondered if you ever did a typical daily menu for a pregnant woman? Before I got prenant and started my cheese/seltzer diet I was doing so well to eat healthy. Any advice would be excellent!
Thanks!
Sarah

Mine duh 🙂 My hubbie and I have been doing Insanity for over a month now, although we just restarted our 60 days after I had a tendonitis issue. I have a majah crush on Sean T. Did you know he was a dancer?

Eek if I eat fruit on the go I usually don’t wash it…feel free to cringe.

Like Jessica @ Sweet, I am the queen of Google Reader! Found these two blogs recently, though I’m probably the last to know about them 🙂 Thought you might like them, based on the interests that come through in your posts.

Rachel Zoe. http://www.rachelzoe.com Daily designer fashion/beauty find with corresponding non-designer version. (I didn’t see an RSS option on her pages so if you use a reader you have to manually plug the URL into it).

While not new, I recently stumbled across Rachel’s blog at http://www.sheddingit.com – this girl has a very unique personality and is always reliable for a good laugh. She’s a little “edgier” than most of the other blogs I read. Also – thanks so much for posing this question — very helpful!

Hi Gina! I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and would say it’s on my “top 4” list of blogs I read almost daily…(The other 3 are Meghann, Caitlin, and Jenna’s blogs). I still feel like I’m a *new* blogger even though it’s been many months since I started my blog, but I do definitely feel that I am more of the “before” stage while a lot of other (and much bigger!) blogs are the “after” that I hope to achieve. My reason for blogging is to document my weight-loss and journey to running a half-marathon (and hopefully a full marathon someday!). I’m also a second-degree black belt in tae kwon do so I try to include some info about martial arts as well.

I just started my holistic health counseling practice. I love food and most importantly, love health! I started my blog “In Pursuit of Vitality” to write about the latest in the world of nutrition, health and wellness and my stance on different lifestyle and diet practices. I would love it if you checked it out!
